ANSI/ASSP Z9.14-2020 STANDARD

Testing and Performance-Verification Methodologies for Biosfety Level 3 (BSL-3) and Animal Biosafety Level 3 (ABSL-3) Ventilation Systems (digital download only)

The ANSI/ASSE Z9.14 Standard focuses on performance verification of engineering controls related specifically to ventilation system features of BSL-3/ABSL-3 facilities. ANSI/ASSE Z9.14 uses a risk assessment and performance-based approach to provide the technical specifications and background information needed to address the technical, engineering, and associated systems for ventilation within a BSL-3/ABSL-3 laboratory. As such, it is fully compatible with biorisk-management systems and national and international health and safety management systems without duplicating or contradicting their requirements. The standard provides one component of a more extensive graduated and risk-based approach to reaching containment goals appropriate to the risk of the agent and the laboratory activity. Z9.14 is the only guidance that provides a methodology to verify ventilation systems in high containment facilities.
